Don't think so, but I could have gotten that wrong in my head.

With my machine here, I've never been able to change the resolution from
1024x768. Before I upgraded to 10.2, I ran 9.x. When I used the 'panel applet'
to change the resolution, it would always stay in 1024x768, but center the
800x600 or 640x480 and the 'unused' pixels would look like a black border.
